Hi, I've been told that once you have bi or tri focals that it is difficult to get used to Progressive lenses. My experience; I just was given two prescriptions around Christmas and I wish I had networked. One was for far (both lenses were increased and the other was for near and far). First I filled the distance part because I thought for close up I could just pick up a store ready made pair for reading (stupid me). You have to take the - for one and subtract from the + or something like that and end up with something like the very first pair of glasses you had to wear for reading. The optician showed me with a sample lens, and then I could see to read. So I ordered the progressive lenses and I had trouble seeing out of the right lens for distance (Polycarbonate lens). I was told there were different qualities of lenses. The very patient optician after two tries of getting the (Polycarbonate lens) to work I had to try a more expensive High Index lens. I've had them a week and I've been very happy with my new sight. I am having trouble to get used to not peering over my glasses. When you sit in a recliner to watch the news, you have to slip them down you nose. My father wears trifocals he has to do the same thing. Good luck!
